The entire world watched at the end of last year while a cleaning lady from Greece was being sentenced to 10 years in prison for lying about her primary school certificate in order to get hired.
The 53-year-old woman from the city of Volos in Thessaly forged her certificate adding that she had completed one more year.
Following the announcement of her sentence there was national and international uproar as public opinion found the conviction to be unreasonable and harsh.
This time, a cleaner hired by a state hospital in Ioannina was sentenced to eight years in jail for the exact same thing, local media reported on Thursday.
The woman repeatedly attempted to avoid trial for medical reasons that were dismissed as fake. She has reportedly appealed her conviction and a new trial has been scheduled for March 2019.
